| Do people think you're crazy? Cause you love your dog so much? Jackson has clothes and jackets and we love to take him places and I want a stroller, but I know people are going to think we're crazy! "He's just a dog!" is what I hear all the time. How do you handle this?

| You don't owe anyone an explanation for what you purchase for your dogs but it's funny that we all give one. I tell them pups need love to and they get cold, eat, sleep & drink just like us. I get more compliments than I do people asking stupid things now.

| Yes, sometimes people think that I am a little nuts, I embrace it because I Love to Love my dog, and I am a happier person because of him. If that bothers people I am ok with it, I sometimes wonder what is missing in their lives that makes them make such a big deal out how I care for "just a dog." The people that really matter in my life are happy that I am happy and that Copper is so well cared for.

| I agree, I get more positive remarks than bad ones. I really don't care when someone says something dumb, I just feel sorry that they will never know the joy of Yorkie kisses, or looking at a little furface that is so damn cute, you have to smile. Even before I open my eyes in the morning, even when I know the day will be a trying one; I have a sweet furbaby kissing me and letting me know I am the most important person in the world. Enjoy your baby anyway you want; noone that hasn't had a yorkie will understand, and those that have will just smile and coo!!

| I don't worry about it. I love her more than life. I could care less what other people think. Most are understanding and make over her, too. So, there you go!

| I don't think I am crazy but I am sure there are people out there that would disagree but I don't care. He may be just a dog but he is my dog so I choose to treat him like my dog which may mean that I spoil him a little bit. If he weren't, then he wouldn't be my dog would he? Those who judge can say and do what they will with theirs and it is your perrogative to do what you will. I personally think your dog/ child is a reflection of you so you can decide however you want to deal with that. |

| If someone says He's just a dog, tell them "Well, you obviously don't know Jackson!!" That ought to leave them wondering.

| Ahhh! Love all the answers! Thanks so much! And yes, Jackson is my child. Literally. He is MY child and I'd do anything for him. Yeah, he's spoiled rotten, but he's my baby and I love him.

| I stopped caring what people thought a long time ago. Of course, I'm known as the Crazy Yorkie Lady but to each his own! |
